2.5 million jobs lost, and you're excited about 300,000 gained? That doesn't cut it for me.

Hmmm..6 months to election at 300,000+ jobs a month = about 1.9 million new jobs. Wouldn't that be interesting?


Just more spin and hype that Mr. Bush is trying to keep implanted in people's brains.

Also, new unemployment claims hit lowest point since 2000 and unemployment rate down to 5.6% support the claim that the anticipated job recovery is comming..


I do belive unemployment numbers come from those who are receiving unemployment benefits. If you've been on unemployment for so long, and you're no longer eligable for benefits, you're not "counted" as unemployed.

outsourcing was a relatively minor contributing factor to US job loss


Agreed, but we're still loosing great jobs. Factory workers, farmers, ENGINEERS, physicists, chemists, etc are all loosing their jobs due to outsourcing. Americans simply cannot compete with India, Tialand, Tiawan, China, etc when it comes to CHEAP LABOR.

We need help.
